The LEG portfolio can be divided into three market clusters using a scoring system: high-growth markets, stable markets, and higheryielding markets. The indicators for the scoring system are described in the annual report 2023. The portfolio is spread over around 240 locations, most of which are in LEG's home state of North RhineWestphalia. In addition, properties are held in the federal states of Lower Saxony, Bremen, Schleswig-Holstein, Hesse, Rhineland-Palatinate, and Baden-Wuerttemberg.
The property portfolio as of 30 September 2024 included 165,299 residential units, 1,473 commercial units and 46,503 garages and parking spaces. The average flat size was 63 square metres, and the average monthly in-place rent was EUR 6.80 per square metre.
On a like-for-like basis, the actual in-rent on 30 September 2024 was EUR 6.78 per sqm and month. This corresponds to an increase of $3.2 \%$ compared to the previous year's reporting date. Rent index adjustments as well as modernisations and new lettings each contributed $1.6 \%$.
The rental growth resulted from the development of the free-financed units, which accounts for $81 \%$ of the portfolio. Here, the actual in-place rent rose by $3.8 \%$ year-on-year to EUR 7.13 per sqm (like-for-like). Within the free-financed portfolio, the high-growth markets recorded an increase of $3.6 \%$ to EUR 8.19 per sqm (like-for-like). In the stable markets of the free-financed portfolio, the in-place rent rose the most by an average of $4.2 \%$, reaching EUR 6.85 per sqm (like-for-like). The higher-yielding markets recorded an increase in the monthly in-place rent of $3.3 \%$ to EUR 6.42 per square metre (like-for-like).
In the segment of rent-restricted units, which make up $19 \%$ of the portfolio, the next regular adjustment of the cost rent will take place in 2026. As a result, the average monthly in-place rent rose only slightly year-on-year by EUR 0.01 to EUR 5.37 per sqm (like-for-like).
The EPRA vacancy rate on a like-for-like basis was reduced by a further 10 basis points year-on-year to $2.4 \%$ as at 30 September 2024. The highgrowth markets recorded the lowest vacancy rate at $1.4 \%$. In the stable markets, the EPRA vacancy rate averaged $2.2 \%$ at the end of the third quarter and $4.2 \%$ in the higher-yielding markets (like-for-like in each case).

Net operating income rose by $2.5 \%$ in the reporting period. This development is essentially a result of the increase in net cold rents.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased by - 3.1 \% from EUR 507.3 million to EUR 491.7 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin amounted to $76.4 \%$ in the reporting period (comparative period: $81.4 \%$ ).
The EUR - 21.5 million decline in net income from other services is mainly due to the special effects from the sales of electricity produced by LEG in the same period of the previous year.
The increase in net income from investment securities and other equity investments to EUR 36.9 million essentially results from the valuation of the investment in Brack Capital Properties N.V. at fair value.
In the reporting period, net income from the fair value measurement of derivatives resulted primarily from changes in the fair value of embedded derivatives from the convertible bond in the amount of EUR - 24.8 million (comparative period: EUR 0.5 million).
The tax income is almost entirely attributable to the reversal of deferred taxes.

In the reporting period, net operating income increased by EUR 11.3 million compared to the same period of the previous year. The main driver of this development is the increase in net cold rent of EUR 20.3 million. In-place rent per square metre on a like-for-like basis rose by $3.2 \%$ year-on-year. In addition, the subsidies recognized in income led to an increase of EUR 8.7 million in the line item Others. This was offset by an increase of EUR 13.8 million in maintenance expenses for externally procured services and the EUR 6.8 million increase in personnel expenses from rental and lease due to tariff increases and additional inflation compensation bonuses granted.
The adjusted net operating income (NOI)-margin decreased slightly from $82.9 \%$ to $82.4 \%$ compared to the same period of the previous year.

The presentation of EPRA capex breaks down the capitalisation of investments and reconciles them to the payments for investments in investment properties. Value-adding capital expenditure, consisting of development (new construction on own land in the amount of EUR 9.6 million) and modernisation work in investment property (EUR 159.9 million), declined by $5.3 \%$ to EUR 169.5 million in the reporting period. As acquisitions also decreased from EUR 143.3 million to EUR 40.1 million and now only include pro rata payments for acquired project developments, EPRA Capex amounts to EUR 209.6 million in the reporting period (comparative period: EUR 322.2 million).

Maintenance expenses of EUR - 121.6 million and value-adding capital expenditure in investment property and property, plant and equipment of EUR - 187.3 million resulted in total investment of EUR - 308.9 million in the reporting period (comparative period: EUR - 285.7 million). In addition to the maintenance expenses of EUR - 77.5 million (comparative period: EUR - 63.7 million) for externally purchased services recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, maintenance expenses also include the intragroup maintenance expenses of EUR - 44.1 million (comparative period: EUR - 40.7 million). Investment in investment property, value-adding capital expenditure (capex) and capex (recurring) include expansion investments in the form of new construction activities on own land but not purchased project developments.
Consolidation effects, investment for new construction activities on own land, own work capitalised and subsidies recognised in profit or loss of EUR 42.9 million (comparative period: EUR 43.5 million) in total were eliminated from total investment to calculate total investment per square metre. Adjusted total investment amounts to EUR - 266.0 million (comparative period: EUR - 242.2 million) and average total investment was EUR 24.63 (comparative period: EUR 22.33) per square metre in the reporting period. The adjusted capitalisation ratio declined to $56.7 \%$ in the reporting period (comparative period: $57.5 \%$ )

Income from the disposal of investment properties amounted to EUR 86.7 million (comparative period: EUR 52.0 million) and essentially relates to one major block sales for which the contract was concluded in the 2023 financial year, but the transfer of ownership taking place in the 2024 financial year.
The remeasurement of investment properties was conducted as of 30 June 2024. Net income from the remeasurement of investment properties amounted to EUR - 292.6 million in the reporting period (comparative period: EUR - 1,495.0 million). Based on the property portfolio as at the beginning of the financial year (including the remeasured acquisitions), this corresponds to a decrease of - $1.6 \%$ (comparative period: - $7.4 \%$ ). The average value of investment properties (incl. IFRS 5 objects) was EUR 1,617 per square metre as at 30 September 2024 including acquisitions (only contain expiring new construction measures) (31 December 2023: EUR 1,619 per square metre).

Interest expense increased by EUR - 18.0 million year on year to EUR - 136.9 million. This includes interest expense from loan amortisation. The increase in interest expenses is mainly due to the disbursements and the increased interest rate level.
Year-on-year there is a slight increase in the average interest rate to $1.61 \%$ as at 30 September 2024 ( $1.42 \%$ as at 30 September 2023) with an almost constant average term to 5.8 years ( 5.9 years as at 30 September 2023).
Net income from other financial assets and other investments of EUR 36.9 million resulted mainly from the valuation of the investment in Brack Capital Properties N.V. at fair value.
In the reporting period, net income from the fair value measurement of derivatives resulted primarily from changes in the fair value of embedded derivatives from the convertible bond in the amount of EUR -24.8 million (comparative period: EUR 0.5 million).

AFFO is one of the most important key financial performance indicators for Group management. LEG distinguishes between FFO I (excluding net income from the disposal of investment properties), FFO II (including net income from the disposal of in-vestment properties) and AFFO (FFO I adjusted for capex). Please refer to the segment reporting for further disclosures.
Based on FFO I (after non-controlling interests), AFFO takes recurring capex measures (capex (recurring)) into account. Recurring capex measures are defined as capitalised costs from modernisation and maintenance measures as well as new construction activities on own land. When determining costs from modernisation and maintenance measures, consolidation effects due to internally procured services resulting from the elimination of intercompany profits are eliminated.
The calculation of AFFO, FFO I, and FFO II for the reporting and comparison period is as follows:

A fair value measurement of investment property was conducted as of 30 June 2024. The resulting profit from remeasurement of investment property of EUR - 292.6 million (comparative period: EUR - 1,495.0 million) was the main driver for the increase compared to 31 December 2023. Furthermore, additions from acquisitions with EUR 40.1 million (pro rata payments for acquired project developments), capitalisation of property modernisation measures with EUR 169.5 million and reclassification to assets held for sale of EUR 260.2 million contributed to the increase of investment properties.
Investments in short-term deposits (EUR 276.4 million), possible by the issue of a convertible bond, the deferral of operating costs not yet invoiced to the tenants in the amount of EUR 93.3 million as well as the decline in rent receivables (EUR - 7.7 million) contributed significantly to the development of the receivables and other assets.
As at 30 September 2024 Cash and cash equivalents (EUR 462.9 million) and the short-term deposits (EUR 404.4 million) included in the line item Receivables and other assets amounted to EUR 867.3 million.
The development of equity since 31 December 2023 is mainly characterised by the net profit for the period of EUR 4.7 million, the capital increase from the stock dividend (EUR 28.4 million) and the dividend distribution (EUR - 181.6 million).
Non-current and current financial liabilities increased by EUR 424.2 million compared to the previous year. This is mainly due to scheduled and unscheduled repayments of bank loans of EUR - 465.1 million, borrowing of new loans (EUR 418.2 million) and the issue of a convertible bond with a book value of EUR 462.2 million as of 30 September 2024.
While the decrease in other non-current liabilities resulted in particular from the reversal of deferred tax liabilities (EUR -2.5 million), a reduction in pension obligations (EUR -2.2 million) and the valuation of derivatives (EUR -11.0 million), there was an increase of trade payables (EUR +19.4 million), derivatives (EUR +66.5 million) and advance payments received (EUR +63.5 million) within other current liabilities.
The residual maturity profile based on the contractually defined or agreed maturities of the financial liabilities as at 30 September 2024 is as follows:
| - Maturity of financing liabilities from real estate financing | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Remaining term | Remaining term | Remaining term | ||
| € million | $<1$ year | $>1$ to 5 years | $>5$ years | Total |
| 30.09.2024 | 832.9 | 4,481.9 | 4,378.4 | 9,693.2 |
| 31.12.2023 | 438.5 | 4,450.7 | 4,375.7 | 9,264.9 |
Due to the amendment to IAS 1, there is a shift in the maturities of financial liabilities from medium-term to short-term.
In accordance with the amendment to IAS 1.69 in conjunction with IAS 1.76 A/B, liabilities from convertible bonds were recognised as current liabilities, as it is technically possible to convert the instrument at any time and LEG also has a cash settlement option. The shift in maturities is independent of the economic perspective.
As at 30 September 2024, this leads to a shift of EUR 991.7 million (previous year: EUR 925.7 million) from medium-term and long-term to current financial liabilities, which resulted from the convertible bond maturing in 2028 and the convertible bond issued in the reporting period and maturing in 2030.
Accordingly, the residual maturity profile after the amendment to IAS 1 is now as follows:
| - Maturity of financing liabilities from real estate financing | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Remaining term | Remaining term | Remaining term | ||
| € million | $<1$ year | $>1$ to 5 years | $>5$ years | Total |
| 30.09.2024 | 1,824.6 | 3,929.6 | 3,939.0 | 9,693.2 |
| 31.12.2023 | $1,364.2^{1}$ | $3,525.0^{2}$ | 4,375.7 | 9,264.9 |
The reclassification of residual maturities in accordance with IAS 1 has no impact on the contractually agreed residual maturities of the financial liabilities entered into.
The EPRA NRV, NTA and NDV are relevant indicators for the real estate industry. LEG has defined EPRA NTA as its primary key figure. The calculation system for the respective key figure can be found in the glossary in the 2023 annual report.
LEG reports EPRA NTA of EUR 9,264.6 million or EUR 124.41 per share as at 30 September 2024. In the calculation, deferred taxes on investment properties are adjusted by the amount attributable to planned property disposals by LEG. Incidental acquisition costs are not taken into account.

As of 30 September 2024, compared to 31 December 2023, both net debt and real estate assets had decreased resulting in an almost unchanged loan to value ratio (LTV) of $48.5 \%$ (31 December 2023: $48.4 \%)$.

By contrast to LTV, hybrid debt instruments with equity components such as mandatory convertible bonds are treated as financial liabilities until the date of conversion. Financial liabilities are taken into account at their nominal amount, and cash and cash equivalents are defined in accordance with IFRS. Furthermore, net debt and net assets of joint ventures and significant associates are included while significant noncontrolling interests are eliminated.
Kommunale Haus und Wohnen GmbH and Beckumer Wohnungsgesellschaft mbH are included as material associates. Furthermore, Brack Capital Properties N. V. is taken into account for reasons of transparency, although it is not an associated company from LEG's perspective.

A net profit for the period of EUR 10.4 million was realised in the reporting period (comparative period: EUR - 969.9 million). Equity amounted to EUR 7,338.9 million at the reporting date ( 31 December 2023: EUR 7,488.2 million). This corresponds to an equity ratio of $37.2 \%$ (31 December 2023: $38.8 \%$ ).
A condensed form of the LEG's statement of cash flows for the reporting period is shown below:
| - Cash flow statement | 01.01. - | 01.01. - |
|---|---|---|
| 30.09 .2024 | 30.09 .2023 | |
| Cash flow from operating activities | 286.6 | 306.7 |
| Cash flow from investing activities | -373.8 | -235.5 |
| Cash flow from financing activities | 272.6 | -127.7 |
| Change in cash and cash equivalents | 185.4 | -56.5 |
Higher receipts from net cold rents and advance payments of operating costs had a positive impact on the net cash flow from operating activities in the reporting period, while in contrast, increased expenses for maintenance, interest and personnel led to a decline in cashflow from operating activities compared to the same period of the previous year.
Essentially, investments in short-term deposits of EUR - 276.0 million, acquisitions and modernisation of the existing portfolio with payments of EUR - 224.2 million and EUR - 9.8 million for owner-occupied property, plant and equipment contributed to the cash flow from investing activities in the amount of EUR - 373.8 million. This was offset by cash inflows from the sale of investment properties amounting to EUR 139.5 million.
In the first nine months of 2024, the issue of a convertible bond (EUR 494.9 million) and the borrowing of new loans (EUR 418.2 million) and, with an opposite effect, the repayment of bank loans (EUR - 465.1 million) and the cash dividend to shareholders (EUR - 153.2 million) were the main drivers for the cash flow from financing activities in the amount of EUR 272.6 million.
The LEG's solvency was ensured at all times in the reporting period.
The risks and opportunities faced by LEG in its operating activities were described in detail in the annual report 2023. To date, no further
With the publication of the results for the first half of 2024, LEG had raised its forecast for AFFO to a range of EUR 190 million to EUR 210 million for the 2024 financial year (previously: range of EUR 180 million to EUR 200 million). At the same time, LEG raised the forecast value for investments for the 2024 financial year to around EUR 34 per square metre (previously: around EUR 32 per square metre). The other targets were confirmed.
Based on the development since this adjustment, LEG considers itself well positioned overall to confirm its earnings targets for the 2024 financial year. For detailed explanations of the forecast, please refer to page 68 f . of the 2023 annual report.
| AFFO | between EUR 190 million and EUR 210 million |
|---|---|
| Adjusted EBITDA margin | c. $77 \%$ |
| LTV | medium-term target level max. $45 \%$ |
| Like-for-like rental growth | $3.2 \%-3.4 \%$ |
| Investments | c. EUR 34 per sqm |
significant risks that would lead to a different assessment of the current period have arisen or become discernible in the fiscal year 2024.
In its reporting as at 30 September 2023 (Q3-2023), LEG set out its ESG targets, which are a component of remuneration for the Management Board and senior management. The following ESG targets were set for the 2024 financial year:
| Environment | Reduction of 4,000 tonnes $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ through modernisation projects and changes in customer behaviour |
|---|---|
| Social | Use of 100 LEG employee hours to design, organise and implement intercultural projects by 31 December 2024 |
| Governance | $85 \%$ of TSP employees and $99 \%$ of all other employees of LEG Group companies to have completed IT security training by 31 December 2024 |
Financial year 2025
LEG publishes a forecast for the 2025 financial year for the first time in its Q3-2024 report:

LEG Immobilien SE, Düsseldorf, and its subsidiaries and sub-subsidiaries, in particular LEG NRW GmbH, Düsseldorf, and its subsidiaries, collectively "LEG", are among the largest housing companies in Germany. On 30 September 2024, LEG held a portfolio of 166,772 (30 September 2023: 168,406) residential and commercial units (166,280 (30 September 2023: 167,864 ) units excluding IFRS 5 objects).
As an integrated property company, LEG engages in three core activities: the optimisation of the core business, the expansion of the value chain as well as consolidating the management platform.
The interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in euros. Unless stated otherwise, all figures have been rounded to millions of euros (EUR million). For technical reasons, tables and references can include rounded figures that differ from the exact mathematical values.
LEG Immobilien SE prepared the interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with the provisions of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for interim reporting, as endorsed in the EU, and their interpretation by the Inter-national Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC). Based on the option under IAS 34.10, the notes to the financial statements were presented in a condensed form. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been audited or subjected to an audit review. LEG primarily generates income from the rental and letting of investment properties. Rental and lease business, in essence, is unaffected by seasonal influences.
The accounting policies applied in the interim consolidated financial statements of LEG Immobilien SE are the same as those presented in the IFRS consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2023. These interim consolidated financial statements as at 30 September 2024 should therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2023.
LEG Immobilien SE has fully applied the new standards and interpretations that are mandatory from 1 January 2024. The amendments to IAS 1 lead to a shift in the maturities of financial liabilities and the embedded derivatives of convertible bonds from the medium-term to the short-term range. In accordance with the amendment to IAS 1.69 in conjunction with IAS $1.76 \mathrm{~A} / \mathrm{B}$, the liabilities from convertible bonds were recognised as current liabilities, as it is technically possible to con-vert the instruments at any time. The amendments are also to be applied retrospectively to the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2023.
LEG Properties B.V. (former: Soldappart B.V.) was founded on 13 December 2023 and consolidated for the first time on 1 April 2024.
LEG-LEITWerk GmbH was founded on 29 August 2024 and consolidated for the first time as at 31 August 2024.
The preparation of interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires assumptions and estimates to be made that affect the recognition of assets and liabilities, income and expenses and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. These assumptions and estimates particularly relate to the measurement of investment properties, the recognition and measurement of pension provisions, the recognition and measurement of other provisions, the measurement of financing liabilities, and the eligibility for recognition of deferred tax assets.
Although the management believes that the assumptions and estimates used are appropriate, any unforeseeable changes in these assumptions could impact the net assets, financial position and results of operations.
For further information, please refer to the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2023.
On 30 September 2024, LEG held 165,299 apartments and 1,473 commercial units in its portfolio (166,280 units excluding IFRS 5 objects).

In addition, LEG' s portfolio still includes land and buildings accounted for in accordance with IAS 16.
Property, plant and equipment as well as intangible assets included right of use leases in the amount of EUR 12.6 million as of 30 September 2024. The right of uses result from rented land and buildings, cars, heat contracting, measurement and reporting technology, IT peripheral devices as well as software. In the reporting period right of uses in the amount of EUR 2.4 million have been added.

Cash and cash equivalents mainly consist of bank balances as well as money market funds. The increase is mainly due to the investment of the funds generated by the issue of a convertible bond in money market funds. Changes in the components of consolidated equity are shown in the statement of changes in consolidated equity.
Financing liabilities are composed as follows:

| Financing liabilities from lease financing | 106.8 | 110.9 |
| Financing liabilities | 9,800.0 | 9,375.8 |
Financing liabilities from property financing serve the financing of investment properties.
The consolidated financial statements of LEG Immobilien SE reported financial liabilities from real estate financing of EUR 9,693.2 million as at 30 September 2024. In the first three quarters of 2024, a convertible bond with a nominal value of EUR 500.0 million (EUR 462.2 million IFRS carrying amount) and loans in the amount of EUR 418.2 million were valued. This was offset by scheduled and unscheduled repayments of EUR 471.7 million and the amortisation of transaction costs.
The financial liabilities from real estate financing include the following capital market instruments as of the reporting date:
| IFRS carrying amount |
Nominal value |
|
|---|---|---|
| Convertible bond 2024/2030 | 462.2 | 500.0 |
| Convertible bond 2020/2028 | 536.5 | 550.0 |
| Convertible bond 2017/2025 | 398.0 | 400.0 |
| Bond 2023/2029 | 85.2 | 100.0 |
| Bond 2023/2031 | 74.2 | 100.0 |
| Bond 2022/2026 | 499.9 | 500.0 |
| Bond 2022/2029 | 499.0 | 500.0 |
| Bond 2022/2034 | 500.2 | 500.0 |
| Bond 2021/2032 | 497.5 | 500.0 |
| Bond 2021/2031 | 597.0 | 600.0 |
| Bond 2021/2033 | 597.6 | 600.0 |
| Bond 2019/2034 | 300.3 | 300.0 |
| Bond 2019/2027 | 501.3 | 500.0 |
The convertible bonds were classified and recognised in full as debt due to the issuer's contractual cash settlement option. There are several embedded derivatives and derivatives that must be separated that are to be jointly regarded as a com-pound derivative and carried at fair value. The host debt instrument is recognised at amortised cost.
The change in financial liabilities from lease financing in the reporting period essentially results from the decrease in lease liabilities for measurement and reporting technology. For leases that have already been concluded and do not begin until after the balance sheet date, there will be possible future cash outflows of EUR 1.5 million.

The main driver for the change in the maturity distribution compared to 31 December 2023 is the remaining maturity of two corporate bonds, which led to an increase in financial debt with a mid-term maturity and a corresponding decrease in financial debt with a long-term maturity. Furthermore, the amendment to IAS 1 led to a shift in the maturities of financial liabilities from medium-term to short-term. In accordance with the amendment to IAS 1.69 in conjunction with IAS 1.76 A/B, liabilities from convertible bonds were recognised as current liabilities, as it is technically possible to convert the instrument at any time and LEG also has a cash settlement option. The shift in maturities is independent of the economic perspective.
As at 30 September 2024, this resulted in a shift of EUR 991.7 million (previous year: EUR 925.7 million) from medium-term and long-term financial liabilities to short-term financial liabilities, which resulted from the convertible bond maturing in 2028 and the convertible bond issued in the reporting period and maturing in 2030.
The reclassification of residual maturities in accordance with IAS 1 has no impact on the contractually agreed residual maturities of the financial liabilities entered into.
Net operating income is broken down as follows:
| - Net operating income | ||
|---|---|---|
| € million | 01.01. - 30.09.2024 |
01.01. - 30.09.2023 |
| Net cold rent | 643.8 | 623.5 |
| Profit from operating expenses | $-16.5$ | $-16.8$ |
| Maintenance for externally procured services | $-77.5$ | $-63.7$ |
| Personnel expenses (rental and lease) | $-86.2$ | $-79.4$ |

| Depreciation and amortisation expenses | 9.4 | 11.5 |
| Maintenance for externally procured services | 77.5 | 63.7 |
| Subsidies recognised in profit or loss | $-9.1$ | - |
| Own work capitalised | $-14.0$ | $-11.4$ |
| Net operating income (recurring) | 530.3 | 516.9 |
| Net operating income margin (recurring in \%) | 82.4 | 82.9 |
In the reporting period, net operating income increased by EUR 11.3 million compared to the same period of the previous year. The main drivers of this development were the increase in net cold rent of EUR 20.3 million. In-place rent per square metre on a like-for-like basis rose by $3.2 \%$ year-on-year. In addition, the subsidies recognized in income led to an increase of EUR 8.7 million in the line item Others. This was offset by an increase of EUR 13.8 million in maintenance expenses for externally procured services and the EUR 6.8 million increase in personnel expenses from rental and lease due to tariff in-creases and additional inflation compensation bonuses granted.
The adjusted net operating income (NOI)-margin decreased slightly from $82.9 \%$ to $82.4 \%$ compared to the same period of the previous year.
In the reporting period the following depreciation expenses for right of use from leases were included.
| - Depreciation expenses of leases | ||
|---|---|---|
| € million | 01.01. - 30.09.2024 |
01.01. - 30.09.2023 |

| Right of use technical equipment and machinery | 1.9 | 2.9 |
| Right of use operating and office equipment | 2.1 | 2.1 |
| Depreciation expenses of leases | 4.2 | 5.2 |
In the reporting period expenses of leases of a low-value asset in the amount of EUR 0.4 million were included in the net operating income (comparable period: EUR 0.4 million).
Net income from the disposal of investment properties is composed as follows:
| 01.01. - 30.09.2024 |
01.01. - 30.09.2023 |

The remeasurement of investment properties was conducted as of 30 June 2024. Net income from the remeasurement of investment properties amounted to EUR - 292.6 million in the reporting period (comparative period: EUR - 1,495.0 million). Based on the property portfolio as at the beginning of the financial year (including the remeasured acquisitions), this corresponds to a decrease of - $1.6 \%$ (comparative period: - 7.4 \%). The average value of investment properties (incl. IFRS 5 objects) was EUR 1,617 per square metre as at 30 September 2024 including acquisitions (only contain expiring new construction measures) (31 December 2023: EUR 1,619 per square metre).

| Depreciation and amortisation | 2.6 |
| Non-recurring special effects (administration) | 4.5 |
| Administrative and other expenses (recurring) | -40.3 |
The increase in personnel expenses is due to tariff increases, additional inflation compensation bonuses granted and increases in provisions for the LTI components of Management Board remuneration. Adjusted administrative expenses increased by EUR 7.6 million in the first nine months compared to the same period in the previous year.
In the reporting period following depreciation expenses for right of use from leases are included.

The increase in interest expenses by EUR - 18.0 million to EUR - 136.9 million is mainly due to the valuations after the comparative period and higher interest rate level.
Income taxes

01.01. - 30.09 .2023 |
|---|---|
| Current tax expenses | -0.9 |
| Deferred tax expenses | 2.5 |
| Income tax expenses | 1.6 |
As at 30 September 2024, an effective Group tax rate of $21.86 \%$ was assumed in accordance with Group tax planning (comparative period: $21.1 \%)$.
The decrease in current tax expenses is mainly due to special effects from the sale of electricity in the comparative period.
The deferred tax income is essentially based on the release of deferred tax liabilities as part of the devaluation of investment properties and is therefore significantly lower compared to the comparative period.
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit for the period attributable to the shareholders by the average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period.
Due to the granting of stock dividends for the financial year 2023, a capital increase was carried out on 24 June 2024. A total of 360,389 new shares were issued.

As at 30 September 2024, LEG Immobilien SE had convertible bonds outstanding, which authorise the bearer to conversion into up to 7.1 million new ordinary shares.
Diluted earnings per share are calculated by increasing the average number of shares outstanding by the number of all potentially dilutive shares. The net profit/loss for the period is adjusted for the expenses no longer incurring for the interest coupon, the measurement of the embedded derivatives and the amortisation of the convertible bond and the resulting tax effect in the event of the conversion rights being exercised in full.
LEG has operated in only one segment since the 2016 financial year. It generates its revenue and holds its assets exclusively in Germany. In the financial year 2024, LEG did not generate sales of more than $10 \%$ of total reported sales with any customer.
In addition to the minimum disclosures required by IFRS 8, the company's key performance indicators are explained and presented below. These correspond to the management and reporting system used by LEG for corporate management and provide a deeper insight into the economic performance of LEG.
Internal reporting at LEG deviates from the IFRS accounting figures. LEG's internal reporting focuses in particular on the key performance indicators of AFFO, the adjusted EBITDA margin and LTV, as well as the other key financial performance indicators figures for the housing industry of EPRA NTA and net cold rent. The alternative performance indicators presented below are not bases on the IFRS figures, with the exception of the comments on LTV.
AFFO is one of the most important key financial performance indicator for Group management. LEG distinguishes between FFO I (excluding net income from the disposal of investment properties), FFO II (including net income from the disposal of investment properties) and AFFO (FFO I adjusted for capex).
The calculation of AFFO, FFO I, and FFO II for the reporting and comparison period is as follows:
| € million | 01.01. - 30.09.2024 |
01.01. - 30.09.2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Net cold rent | 643.8 | 623.5 |

EBITDA is adjusted for non-recurring effects to ensure comparability with previous periods. Adjustments are made for all items that are not attributable to operations in the period and that have a not insignificant effect on EBITDA. These special effects of a non-recurring nature include project costs for business model and process optimisation, personnel matters, acquisition and integration costs, capital market financing and M\&A activities as well as other atypical matters.
These are composed as follows:
| € million | 01.01. - 30.09.2024 |
01.01. - 30.09.2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Project costs to optimise the | ||
| business model and processes | 0.9 | 3.6 |
| Staff related costs | 5.8 | 1.9 |
| Acquisition and integration related costs | 1.1 | 3.5 |
| Capital market financing and M\&A activities | 1.2 | 1.1 |
| Other atypical matters | 0.4 | 0.7 |
| Special one-off effects | 9.4 | 10.8 |
EBITDA adjusted for these special items is further adjusted for cash interest income and expenses, cash taxes, maintenance expenses for externally procured services, subsidies recognised in profit or loss, own work capitalised and non-controlling interests in FFO I.
Cash interest expenses are composed as follows:
| € million | 01.01. - 30.09.2024 |
01.01. - 30.09.2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Interest expense reported in income statement | 136.9 | 118.9 |
| Interest expense related to loan amortisation | -16.6 | -15.0 |
| Interest costs related to the | ||
| accretion of other assets/liabilities | -0.1 | -0.1 |
| Interest expenses related to | ||
| changes in pension provisions | -2.5 | -2.8 |
| Other interest expenses | 0.0 | 0.2 |
| Cash effective interest expense (gross) | 117.7 | 101.2 |
| Cash effective interest income | 12.8 | 6.3 |
| Cash effective interest expense (net) | 104.9 | 94.9 |
Based on FFO I (after non-controlling interests), AFFO takes recurring capex measures (capex (recurring)) into account. Recurring capex measures are defined as capitalised costs from modernisation and maintenance measures as well as new construction activities on own land. When determining costs from modernisation and maintenance measures, consolidation effects due to internally procured services resulting from the elimination of intercompany profits are eliminated.
The EPRA NRV, NTA and NDV are relevant indicators for the real estate industry. LEG has defined the EPRA NTA as its primary key figure. Another relevant key financial indicator is EPRA NTA per share. The calculation system for the respective key figures can be found in the glossary of the 2023 annual report.
LEG reports EPRA NTA of EUR 9,264.6 million or EUR 124.41 per share as at 30 September 2024. In the calculation, deferred taxes on investment property are adjusted by the amount attributable to planned property disposals by LEG. Incidental acquisition costs are not taken into account. The key figures are presented on a diluted basis only. As at 30 September 2024, no dilution effects from the convertible bonds are taken into account, as the share price does not exceed the current con-version prices as at the reporting date.

LEG's calculation of EPRA NTA is based on the Best Practice Recommendations of the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA).
The purchase price obligations from share deals recognised as liabilities are shown as effects from the exercise of options, convertible bonds and other rights to equity amounting to EUR 28.5 million.
Deferred taxes resulting from the measurement of investment properties and from the measurement of publicly subsidised loans as well as the measurement of derivatives are adjusted in the amount of the equity impact. Deferred taxes relating to the planned sales programme are not taken into account in the determination of the EPRA NTA. Deferred taxes on investment properties and on subsidised loans as well as derivatives, which are taken into account in the EPRA NTA, amounted to a total of EUR 1,935.4 million as at 30 September 2024.
Effects of the fair value measurement of derivative financial instruments are also eliminated in calculating the EPRA NTA. If these effects from the measurement of derivatives relate to the equity value calculated in the "Effects on equity from the exercise of options, convertible bonds and other rights" item, these are not included under "fair value of financial instruments". As at 30 September 2024, these effects totalled EUR - 9.2 million.
In addition, all recognised intangible assets are eliminated. As at 30 September 2024 these totalled EUR 4.0 million.
The estimated incidental acquisition costs are calculated on the basis of the net market values of the property portfolio. In accordance with the property portfolios in the various federal states, real estate transfer tax is taken into account. In addition, brokerage courtage and notary fees are applied in determining the estimated incidental acquisition costs.
As of 30 September 2024, compared to 31 December 2023, both net debt and real estate assets had decreased resulting in an almost unchanged loan to value ratio (LTV) of $48.5 \%$ (31 December 2023: 48.4 \%).

The maintenance expenses from the perspective of the companies that hold properties consist of maintenance expenses for externally purchased services and maintenance expenses purchased internally by the service companies of LEG. Value-adding capital expenditure includes investment in investment property and in property, plant and equipment. Investment in investment property, value-adding capital expenditure (capex) and capex (recurring) include expansion investments in the form of new construction activities by LEG but not purchased project developments. Consolidation effects, investment for new construction work by LEG, own work capitalised and subsidies recognised in profit or loss are eliminated from total investment when calculating total investment per square metre.

The table below shows the financial assets and liabilities broken down by measurement category and class. Receivables and liabilities from finance leases and derivatives used as hedging instruments are included even though they are not assigned to an IFRS 9 measurement category. With respect to reconciliation, non-financial assets and non-financing liabilities are also included although they are not covered by IFRS 7.
The fair values of financial instruments are determined on the basis of corresponding market values or measurement methods. For cash and cash equivalents and other short-term primary financial instruments, the fair value is approximately the same as the carrying amount at the end of the respective reporting period.
For non-current receivables, other assets and liabilities, the fair value is calculated on the basis of the forecast cash flows, applying the reference interest rates as of the end of the reporting period. The fair values of derivative financial instruments are determined based on the benchmark interest rates in place as of the reporting date.
For financial instruments at fair value, the discounted cash flow method is used to determine fair value using corresponding quoted market prices, with individual credit ratings and other market conditions being taken into account in the form of standard credit and liquidity spreads when calculating present value. If no quoted market prices are available, the fair value is calculated using standard measurement methods applying instrument-specific market parameters.
When calculating the fair value of derivative financial instruments, the input parameters for the valuation models are the relevant market prices and interest rates observed as of the end of the reporting period, which are obtained from recognised external sources. The derivatives are therefore attributable to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as defined in IFRS 13.72 ff (measurement on the basis of observable inputs).
Both the Group's own risk and the counterparty risk were taken into account in the calculation of the fair value of derivatives in accordance with IFRS 13.

As at 30 September 2024, the fair value of a shareholding amounts to EUR 196.3 million (31 December 2023: EUR 168.3 million). The change compared to the previous reporting date amounts to EUR 28.0 million, of which EUR 28.0 million was recognised in profit or loss. This participation is allocated to Level 1 of the measurement hierarchy, as there is an active market for the shares.
The fair value of the other investments in the amount of EUR 160.4 million was last calculated as at 31 December 2023 using DCF procedures as there are no quoted prices in an active market for the relevant investments. The fair value calculated using valuation models is allocated to Level 3 of the IFRS 13 measurement hierarchy. Allocation to Level 3 takes place based on valuation models with inputs not observed on a market. The other companies continue to be measured using the simplified income capitalisation approach. The main model parameter in the simplified income capitalisation approach is the capitalisation rate of $7.1 \%$. The fair value of the portfolio companies is determined on the basis of the property values of the respective companies. The property values are determined on the basis of offer prices from a market database. The $25 \%$ percentile of the offer prices was selected for the valuation.
The stress test of the relevant valuation parameters for the other companies was carried out as at 31 December 2023 by increasing or decreasing the capitalisation rate by 50 basis points and for the real estate companies by using the $10 \%$ per-centile or median of the offer prices. The stress test of these parameters results in a reduction in the fair value to EUR 100.3 million when using the $10 \%$ percentile and increasing the capitalisation rate by 50 basis points and an increase in the fair value to EUR 210.1 million when using the median and reducing the capitalisation rate by 50 basis points.
Please see the IFRS consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2023 for the presentation of the IFRS 2 programs for long-term incentive component in the Management Board agreements.
